Restoring factory settings means deleting all data
on the Nintendo Switch console and returning it to
the state in which you bought it.
However, you can also restore factory settings
while retaining some of the data stored on the
console.
• Clearing the cache
• Resetting the keyboard
• Restoring the console to factory settings
• Restoring factory settings without deleting save
data
Clearing the cache
When you do things like link a Nintendo Account
or post screenshots to social networks, websites
will be displayed on the console.
You can delete the data stored for these websites,
including IDs and passwords, cookies, history and
the cache, for each user on the Nintendo Switch
console.
How to clear the cache
Open System Settings on the HOME Menu, then
select System ⇒ Formatting Options ⇒ Clear
Cache.
Select the user you'd like to clear the cache for,
then follow the on-screen instructions.
